Erdogan pledges to continue border operations
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan pledged on Tuesday, July 24, to continue security operations along all of Turkey’s borders until security threats are completely removed.
Speaking to members of his ruling party AK Party in parliament, Erdogan warned that one had the right to criticize a new anti-terrorism law the government is drafting, Reuters reported.
Emergency rule put in place following a July 2016 coup attempt ended last week.
More than 150,000 civil servants have been purged and 77,000 people have been charged in a crackdown since the failed coup.
Turkey has also launched cross-border operations into Syria saying “terrorist threats” by the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG).
